Leo is a fixed fire sign ruled by the Sun, combining sustained energy with a need for visibility. It governs the heart, upper abdomen, and spine — the body's center of vitality — and is classically masculine (odd-sign) in polarity. Where Aries acts and moves on, fixed fire in Leo holds its position and asks to be recognized while doing it.

The Sun as ruler ties Leo to authority, self-confidence, and leadership in classical readings, and its fixed nature means these qualities tend to be steady rather than situational. Leo corresponds to the direction East. A planet placed here generally expresses itself with more presence than restraint — the sign rewards being seen doing the thing, not just doing it quietly.
